Art by Timothy Goodman // www.tgoodman.com There is still so much work to be done, friends. The last few weeks I’ve been asking myself hard questions and have been taking a good look at myself and my business in the mirror, breaking down piece-by-piece my thought patterns these last few years and how I’ve been […]

2020 was the year I’ve been waiting for. How often have we begged for a season to rest? To slow down and spend more time at home with those that matter most? To have a life-shift and to grow? To care less of what others think of us? To be more brave? 2020 has been […]

These photos are near and dear to my heart because the meaning behind them is so deep. A group of vendors and I got together at The Sentimentalist, a bridal shop in Atlanta, to photograph sweet Hannah in beautiful pieces provided by Icon Stylist and Tatyana Merenyuk. Hannah’s story is so beautiful, and it was […]

“Where are you from?” is a question I’m asked at every wedding that I photograph. I think most people mean to ask, “What is your ethnicity?” or simply want to have a conversation starter. So, hello! I’m Hannah and I was born in China. I was an orphan and adopted, so I don’t know exactly […]

Image: www.instagram.com/futurafreedesign/ Been wrestling with hard questions. Particularly, how has the model minority myth, following the silent/submissive stereotype, and allowing others to make racial slurs/comments/jokes against me perpetuated and normalized racism against Black America?

Black Lives Matter // www.prettylittlefawn.com You don’t have to be profound or eloquent or share all of your intense feelings to stand up for what’s right and to speak out against injustice and murder. If this offends you, I’m not for you. I can’t keep sharing weddings and love and happiness like things are okay […]

  Earlier this spring, Ava and Harrison decided that Meadowlark 1939, a boutique wedding venue in southern Georgia would be the perfect place for their engagement photos. They will be celebrating next spring with their loved ones in Atlanta. I loved spending the afternoon with these two, getting to know their story and seeing their […]

My heart goes out to my COVID-19 couples. It’s more than just changing a date. It’s grappling with the fact that a grandparent may not be able to make it to the new wedding date. It’s grieving the loss of a dream that you’ve likely had since childhood. It’s grieving all the work and money […]

As we find ourselves with time we didn’t think we would initially have, I’m hopeful that we get to refocus and use these slower days for things that are good, restful, and bring joy. Perhaps at the end of it all, we won’t be as hardwired to work ourselves into the ground. Perhaps we’ll understand […]

My dear brides, If you’ve found yourself in the position of needing to postpone your wedding. Please know you’re not alone. My fiancé and I were planning to wed next week, and we too had to make the painful decision to postpone our wedding. If I’m being honest, it left me feeling at a loss […]
